Washington State community remembers Tyler Hilinski 1 year after his death

PULLMAN, Wash. -- Members of the Washington State community were urged to light a candle and hold a moment of silence in memory of quarterback Tyler Hilinski on Wednesday, the one-year anniversary of his death.

Hilinski's Hope, a foundation started by his family to support programs to destigmatize mental illness, also announced a partnership this week with the NCAA's Sport Science Institute to support student-athlete mental wellness at NCAA schools.

Hilinski's Hope has raised more than $300,000 and sponsored mental health training at several universities.
